Rusholme isn't solely populated by students and Moslems - although there are many of both living there. There is also a substantial Carribean population there.

Despite the fact that it borders Moss Side (actually a far less rough area than its reputation suggests) crime in Rusholme is fairly minimal. That is, if you don't count slum landlordism.

A very pleasant area to live actually, but I'm glad I moved out last June. Given recent events, I doubt an area full of posters calling for Jihad and claiming 'Democracy is against Islam!' is the safest place to be in the world.

Oh, and despite its reputation, The Royal Naz is not the best curry house on the mile - it's closer to the worst. It's just the first you see as you head towards Rusholme from town. Sometimes, positioning is all...
